Manual Osteopathy
Manual Osteopathic Therapy involves hands-on techniques to investigate and treat body dysfunctions. The therapist examines the whole body, addressing mechanical disruptions even without symptoms. For instance, if you have right shoulder pain, the therapist will examine the joint and surrounding soft tissue, while also:
- Assessing the pelvis for balance, as imbalance can affect the shoulder.
- Checking the spinal column for inflamed nerves that may cause shoulder pain.
- Palpating the liver and gall bladder, as dysfunction in these organs can radiate pain to the shoulder.
- Assessing fluid dynamics in and around the shoulder, as congestion may be linked to pain.
What are the potential benefits of Manual Osteopathy treatment?
- Alleviating Chronic Symptoms: Manual osteopathic therapy is widely recognized for effectively alleviating persistent symptoms in patients who have undergone multiple treatments previously. It can aid in pain relief, improved mobility, addressing organ, cranial, and fascial restrictions, and enhancing overall wellness.
- Paramedical Advantages: Manual osteopathic therapy allows patients to utilize their healthcare benefits. The majority of insurance companies and health spending accounts acknowledge the services rendered by Manual Osteopathic Therapists.
